Back on our feet: Rose and three children under 7 in Caloocan

After the death of my husband, Rose is raising three children under 7 alone and needs $650 to stay afloat for 4 months.

Caloocan
After the death of my husband in May, I'm now raising three children under 7 on my own. I work as a part-time receptionist, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries. I'm retraining as a teaching assistant in the evenings, which will triple my income by July, but I need to bridge the gap until then. Some weeks I skip meals so my children can eat. I have never asked anyone for help like this before, and I'm doing it for them. Once I finish my course, I'll pay it forward. Every cent is accounted for. I'll share a simple monthly breakdown. Where the $650 goes: • Rent top-up: $360 • Childcare and after-school care: $175 • Course fees and exam costs: $115 With deep gratitude, Rose
